The Space:
Four bedrooms, a sparkling pool, and a screened lanai waiting for you at the end of every day - this Lakeland home is built for groups who want space, comfort, and the kind of easy rhythm that makes a trip feel effortless. Whether you're here for a tournament, a family gathering, or an extended work stay between Tampa and Orlando, the Palm Grove Retreat settles you in from the moment you arrive.
The space
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area forms the heart of the home - bright, connected, and designed for real togetherness. The large kitchen island doubles as a gathering spot while meals are being prepared, and the dining table brings everyone together for shared dinners. The layout flows naturally from the kitchen to the living area, where the TV and comfortable seating make for easy movie nights or wind-down evenings after a full day.
Sleeping arrangements
The home sleeps 8 across four bedrooms. The primary suite features a king bed with an ensuite bath - a calm, private retreat at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms are each furnished with a queen bed, while the fourth bedroom is set up with twin-over-twin bunk beds, well-suited for younger guests or anyone who needs flexible sleeping arrangements. Three full bathrooms mean mornings stay stress-free, even with a full house.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook properly - refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and cooking basics including pots, pans, oil, salt, and pepper. Dishes and silverware are provided, so there's nothing to source or borrow. Pull up a stool at the island for a casual breakfast, or set the dining table for a proper family dinner.
Outdoor living
The screened lanai is where this home earns its place. Step outside to find a private in-ground pool and an attached spa - note that the spa is not heated. The covered patio offers comfortable seating and an outdoor dining area for al fresco meals, and the screened enclosure keeps the space comfortable throughout your stay without worrying about the elements.
Work & everyday living
A dedicated workspace and reliable Wi-Fi make this home a natural fit for remote work or longer visits. The single-level layout means no stairs throughout - a practical detail that matters for groups with young children or guests who prefer step-free access. A washer, dryer, and free garage parking add to the convenience of settling in for an extended stay. The home is also equipped with a Ring doorbell, front and rear exterior security cameras, and a smoke alarm for peace of mind.
